Make Money and Help a Local Nonprofit

The Lee’s Summit Chamber is proud to offer a new program that not only benefits our members but also Lee’s Summit nonprofits. Deals Lee’s Summit, powered by YipDeals, offers businesses the chance to gain new customers and exposure by selling deals.

Want to see if Deals Lee’s Summit can help your business? Remember there is no start up fee.

Contact Chamber member Anthony Gordon with Local Success Marketing at 816.875.3491 or info.dealsls@gmail.com.

This is not Groupon. In the Chamber’s opinion, this is much better than Groupon or similar programs. Often times other programs require businesses to offer extreme discounts, with little to no money going back to the actual businesses themselves.

Here is what you need to know about Deals Lee’s Summit: • 64% of every deal sold instantly goes back to the merchant through a PayPal account • 12% of every deal sold goes to a local school, church or other nonprofit chosen by the buyer (if you are a nonprofit, make sure to contact Anthony so that you can be listed as an option!)

• 2% of each deal goes back to the Chamber to help support programming • There is zero risk or upfront costs for businesses to get started • Participants set their own terms - how many, when and frequency • Measurable results • The Chamber will promote each deal on Deals Lee’s Summit through social media and emails • Members will be encouraged to ‘share’ the information with their contacts, helping spread the word for other members businesses page 4

Washington DC Fly-In

A delegation from four Chambers of Commerce representing Lee’s Summit, Blue Springs, South Kansas City and Grandview traveled to Washington, DC to discuss issues important to businesses within our respective communities. The delegation composed of community business leaders and chamber executives met with US Senators Roy Blunt, Claire McCaskill, US House of Representatives’ Emanuel Cleaver (pictured above), Vicki Hartzler and Sam Graves.

Four major issues affecting the business community were the focus of the trip - business taxation and entitlement reform, reliable and secure infrastructure, health care and transportation.

“The Congressional lawmakers were attentive and seemed appreciative of the testimonials being offered by the Chamber’s spokespersons and genuinely interested in suggestions offered to address the concerns raised during the visits,” said Lee’s Summit Chamber Vice President Mark Dickey.

The delegation also had the opportunity to host a luncheon at the US Chamber of CommerceHeadquarters, directly across from the White House, to confer with top policy and public affairs personnel for briefings on the important issues facing the nation’s business community.

After conducting a briefing of the delegation, it was clear that Congress and the Administration face many weighty issues that have a profound impact on the country’s economic future. As a result a strategic, long-range solutions are needed a to achieve bipartisan support.
